Not only did our 300+ programmes impact the lives of 6.1 million people in over 30 countries, but for the first time in 50 years we implemented our programmes entirely based on business revenues, acquired on a project basis, without core subsidy from the Dutch government. We could not have achieved these results without the efforts made by our committed and professional global staff and the generous support of our donors. |

Lack of access to clean cooking solutions and the resulting exposure to household air pollution causes respiratory illnesses and about 4.3 million deaths each year.
